Mobile robotics for restoring degraded ecosystems

R-Stepps project developed by Mohamed Zaoui is an automated robotic system for restoring degraded ecosystems through the planting and maintenance of vegetation. Our focus is on 'arid' environments, which make up 40% of the planet's landmass.

By deploying a 'swarm' of eight robots, each designed for one specific task, R-Stepps will able to replant, and maintain, large areas of terrain which are often in inhospitable locations.

The research of the project concerns swarm navigation in large spaces, gripping, and collaboration between robot .

This work contributes to new approach in international projects to plant more vegetation (e.g. Bonn Initiative and United Nations 2017 agreement) and deliver on Sustainable Development Goals linked to eco-system protection and local livelihoods.

Dream4Cars

Dreams4Cars prototype vehicle developed by Centro Ricerche Fiat (CRF)

Dreams4Cars studied a learning paradigm with "mental simulation" inspired by wake/dream cycles: forward models are learned with real world interactions and inverse models are synthesised with episodic simulations (dreams).

The method demonstrated increase of cognition/autonomy abilities at TRL 6 for the Autonomous driving application.
